Overview of the cultural venues in Bruges (page 2 of 3)

Overview in random order.

ConcertgebouwThe concert building is a modern cultural center that was constructed for the occasion of "Bruges 2002" (when Bruges was cultural capital of Europe). It is the largest in its kind in the area and hosts many national and international cultural activities (concerts, dance, chamber music,...)  .  It is renowned for its excellent acoustics.  Address: 't Zand 34

Stadsschouwburg. The theater is located in the center of the town, near the Market square.  It opened in 1869 and has been thoroughly restored before Bruges became cultural capital of Europe in 2002.  It has a very nicely decorated foyer and audience hall.  It is used for local and international productions.
Location: Vlamingstraat 29
Website: CC Brugge

 

Halve MaanThe "Halve Maan" (Half Moon) is an authentical and still operational brewery in the center of Bruges.  Currently they brew a beer called "Brugse Zot" (the fool of Bruges) and "Straffe Hendrik".  Besides having a tasty beer in the café you can also follow an excursion through the brewery and learn more about how beer is brewed.  You could say it is a place where you can have a drink in a culturally responsible way ;-). 
Address: Walplein 26

Saint-Janshuismill.  This is the only of the four windmills on the ramparts in Bruges that has always stood on this place.  It was built in 1770 on commission of the bakers of Bruges.  It stands on the spot where before the Sint-Janshospitalmill stood (this one was blown down in 1744).  The mill is accessible for the public and has been arranged as a museum.
Address: Kruisvest

Guido Gezelle museum.  Guido Gezelle was one of Flanders' most famous writers.  He is mainly known for his poetry.  His birthhouse now hosts this museum in his honour.
Address: Rolweg 64
